For Thanksgiving I made my mom a long, knit tube scarf like you see in just about every store this time of year. Partly because it is so versatile and comfortable and partly because she loves everything I make, she told all of her friends about it! She decided that for Christmas she wanted to give a few of her friends knit scarves and obviously asked me to make them!
I decided to change the scarf so it would be unique and something I actually thought of instead of copying every thing else. I bought heavy knits and made a shorter tube scarf that is more like a turtle neck. It doesn't wrap multiple times which makes it great as an accessory to wear all day instead of just outside! I gathered the back seam to add a little more interest and fun!
I made three for my mom to give as gifts and actually got asked for more! I ended up making four more and selling them! They are easy and fun to make and definitely stylish!
Because she is my biggest fan, I decided to make my mom a special scarf for Christmas. I made the same style scarf but used a sheer knit. Before I sewed it together I spent hours hand beading designs all over the scarf. They added a much more formal feel and she can wear it to work! She has only wore it once and I already have two orders placed!
Mommy didn't want to model so I had to fill in :)
As a college student with limited spare time and money, this is the perfect project for me to make and sell! I'd be happy to make more for anyone!
